Anjali Menon film Koode has finally hit the theatres. The rush to the theatres for the FDFS show alone is enough to tell the audience have been on a countdown for the day since time. The biggest USP of Koode is Nazriya. The actress is making a comeback after her 4 years long hiatus. Starting from Prithviraj, Parvathy, Renjith, and Roshan Mathew to Littil Swayamp and Raghu Dixit, Anjali Menon has gathered a wonderful coup which has piqued the anticipations of the viewers. So here what Koode is all about.

Set in the misty landscape of Ootty, Koode tells the story of Joshua played Prithviraj. Joshua who works in Dubai returns home to a bereaving family. He is given the room of Jenny, his little sister who light up Joshua's life and everything else about this beautiful film which narrates the story of the transformation of a man desolate man torn between duty and love and of those around him.

Surprisingly, Koode is the official adaptation of Marathi filmmaker Sachin Kundalkar. But Anjali Menon has brought it with a flavor of her own which is incredibly delightful and moving. Although Koode is nothing like her previous directorial Banglore Days and writing venture Ustad Hotel, it does have the essential Anjali Menon touch when it comes to depicting relationship. The detail and sensitivity with which Anjali Menon sketch her characters and their relationships are what works for this film which is undoubtedly one of best Malayalam family dramas of the recent years.

The characters in Koode are convincing, there is no element of bogus about them. And the actors put forth an equally convincing performance. Whether it is Prithviraj, Nazriya or Parvathy who plays the lead roles, or Renjith, Pauly Valson and Atul Kulkarni, they all live up to their given characters. Raghu Dixit's wonderful music and Littil Swayamp's incredibly brilliant frames bring in more life to this film which, despite the little lag in parts, touches the heart of the audience.

Final Verdict: Koode is one wonderful treat for anyone who loves moving stories filled with goodness.
